a Map of the Indonesian Maritime Continent showing the amplitude of the seasonal cycle of SST (°C). b The trajectory of the Argo float (WMO ID 6901746) from August 2017 to August 2019. Solid black contours in a, b show the 500 m isobath. Time-depth sections of c daily temperature (°C) and d daily salinity (psu) along the trajectory of the Argo float 6901746. e Temporal evolution of daily zonal and meridional wind stress (N m−2). f Daily OLR anomaly (W m−2), and g daily precipitation (mm day−1). The area boxed by red lines indicates the location of the area captured in b. The blue and black lines in c denote the ILD and MLD, respectively. The black line in d denotes the BLT. The dotted red and blue lines in c and d indicate the MLT (oC) and MLS (psu), respectively. The black line in e denotes the vertical velocities (m s−1) associated with Ekman pumping. All plots in Figs. 2 and 3 are based on a monthly average from the original daily data
